Wow.. thats nice, very good body work. I would personnely get rid of the 3rd brake light though i think it throughs off the smoothness of the car. I want that wing
idk if they still have it, but in my (2005) book of classic industries they have an antanna that goes on the inside of the fender.. idk how well it works, and idk the price.. i could go look here in a bit.. that's just 1 idea i guess.. also hawks has shorter ones too

Thanks for the info... i'll check out hawks for a short little antenna, thats what I had in mind when I was getting it painted. The original long one is bent at the top ( I shut it in the door when it was off the car by accident)
Your car looks great! My 85 Z is in the body shop right now getting, like yours, shaved handles, black paint, 5" wing, but i shaved the antenna hole as well and added an ss hood. Seeing the pics of your car makes me sure I'm doing the right thing! Nice job!

Thanks! I was looking at an SS hood for $300 bucks pickup but the guy didn't message me back until it was too late. The wing was a total pain in the *** to make fit right and get straight, It took many hours but was well worth it in the end. I found a 8" antenna from hawks for $25 i'm gonna get that soon. Good luck with yours
Too much black, i think it would look better if you broke it up with some other color. Maybe install the IROC stripes or even some mild graphics. To me, it just looks like a car painted on a budget. It is beautifully done though, just missing some accessories.

It was done on a budget... I am looking at some of the mirror finished Z28 embelms for the rocker panels and rear bumper, clear side markers and a 8" antenna. I am trying to keep it simple and clean.
Dude...awesome looking camaro-I am a closet case with that spoiler(I LOVE IT...but too afraid to put it on mine ) The shaved handles make that car look smooth(....does that make sense??) BOTTOM LINE__AWESOME JOB!!!
i think a billet chrome grille would look pretty good. with the extended long spoiler in the back. it will give the front a really good look insted of having just the rear end will all the good looks. gotta have some up front to :P
A freind did the paint and body work for me. There was a dent by the gas cap. A long scrape and dent on the passenger side door. A little dent and scrape on the passenger rear quarter panel. The frame where the bumper attaches in the front was twisted a little (I ran into some one @ about 3 mph). The spoiler needed a lot of work to make it fit right also. All together i paid $1500. $400 or so for the paint, $200 for the spoiler, $150 for the shaved door handle kit and the rest for the labor. I am thinking of two little polished aluminum honey comb grill inserts for the front. I'll post some pics when I get that done. Oh yeah the paint is from NAPA (5 year warranty)
The car really looks nice!!! I really like your wheel choice... looks classy. I think that you should smoke the side marker lights to continue with your blacked out theme. Check out mine in my CarDomain... You will see what I mean.

Thanx. Those smoked side markers do look nice... Or maybe its just your whole car that looks good. I wish I new how to do interior like that! I also been thinking about the smoked headlight covers as well but would that be too much?
I got that spoiler from a member here on tgo. Project car that he ended up parting out...
dang, I wish I could find someone getting rid of one of those. $300 plus unkown shipping from hawks is a little rough, but time is running out on trying to find one elsewhere
